Strange Things are Happening

Little does Alisa know she's being hugged by DAIKON MAN!


That's one of the many uses for this interesting vegetable. Although I'm not quite sure what else to do with one. Any ideas?

Craving Sprouts - Brussels Sprouts

Brussels sprouts! I crave them like no other this time of year.  Do you have a favorite way to serve them?





We usually cut them in half and steam them in our steaming basket. Then dip those suckers in lemon butter. (Lemon butter great is for artichokes as well.)


2 containers for $4 at the market!

For the Weekend- Plants

Thanks to El Nino, we're enjoying a sunny and mild winter. There's no excuse on the weekend to sit inside and complain about your yard.  Get out there and get it done!  We bought a house last June, so this is our first year to really get our landscaping in order.  This will involve some new flower beds, and a huge herb garden in our back yard. 


I'm a brand new gardener, so I need some tips. Which flowers are hard to kill, and which herbs are hardy and easy to grow.  And oh, have you seen this new Topsy Turvy strawberry pot-thing?





The fruit market already has a great selection of herb starts, seeds, pots and flowers to inspire you. It's March, after all.











Get outside!
